Additional Information From NC State University:

Biomedical engineers are employed by hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical device and testing companies, government agencies, universities, and medical schools. With so many areas of specialization within the field, graduates are encouraged to further their education by attending graduate or professional school after graduation. Graduates from this program have attended graduate programs in biomedical engineering, physical therapy, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, microbiology, virology, public health, and sports physiology, among others, at many different institutions. Graduates who have taken additional courses to satisfy entrance requirements have also been accepted by medical, dental and pharmacy schools.

For more information please visit the program website. Resources for transfer admission may be found here. 

This major requires  additional semesters of sequential coursework beyond senior year after transfer to NC State. Students that need to maintain full-time status for each semester may wish to consider a minor or additional major. 

Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student. Unless otherwise noted, all courses are required major courses and will not be part of the General Education fulfillment awarded by associate degree transfer and CAA eligibility.

Students may utilize the NC State Transfer Planner in conjunction with this Transfer Guide to see how their transfer coursework fulfills major requirements. Please note that the Transfer Planner does not reflect CAA eligibility or GEP fulfillment.
